“With the new trend of getting noticed at
all cost, many Nigerian entertainers have
stepped up their game in the show-off
business. They have seized every micro
and macro opportunity to flaunt their
expensive, luxurious lifestyles. Instagram
is now the new studio and movie
location. We find more celebrity activities
on Instagram than in real-life situation.
Many have shown their cars, wrist
watches and many other material
acquisitions. Now let’s move away from
the show-off to the lies we were told by
entertainers this year.
KCee Featuring Nicki Minaj
In January, Limpopo master KCee
announced to the world that he had
sealed a deal worth about N25m to
feature American star Nicki Minaj. KCee,
who attended the Grammy Awards with
label mate Mr Songs, sent the
entertainment world into a frenzy when
he made that revelation.
“We are in the USA trying to get some
collaboration done. It is true [that] we are
in the process of doing a song with Nicki
Minaj and that news was leaked by an
agent to the media. We actually wanted it
to be a surprise for the fans, but since
it’s out there now; we plan on taking it
bigger. We want to seal another artist
from YMCMB, one who is bigger than
Nicki Minaj. She’s already sealed to be on
the track, but now that everyone knows,
we’re still going to surprise the fans by
getting another person from YMCB.”
Nigerians and fans of KCee are yet to get
even a snippet of that song. What a bold
move.
WizKid Wrote A Song for Rihanna
Starboy CEO and one of Nigeria’s most
celebrated young stars WizKid dropped
the bombshell in an interview when he
said he wrote a song for American singer
Rihanna. WizKid who, in reality
associates with top American singers like
Chris Brown, has had a great career so
far and even released a new album Ayo.
We are waiting to hear Riri speak Yoruba
and pidgin in her next song.
“Yeah, I went to the studio to write
something for her. She was in the studio
as well; big shout out to Rihanna, so we
made something together. Hopefully, it
gets picked. We’ll still do more stuff
together, you know she’s a cool person.
I’m going back to Los Angeles, so,
definitely, I’m going to get back in the
studio with her again.” WizKid said. Huge
barf there. Well, maybe not.
P-Square to Release Alingo Cartoon
Series
Africa’s foremost twin celebrities P-
Square raised the hopes of their fans
earlier in the year when Peter announced
the soon-to-be-released animated series
Alingos. We are yet to see the cartoons,
even though they have blamed the failure
of the project on their disagreement at a
time. What an Alingo barf.
9ice Quits Music for Politics
Abolore Akande aka 9ice has never hidden
his desire to go into politics sometime.
The Gongo Aso singer who is gunning for
a House of Representatives slot said he
was done with music and was “taking a
full plunge into politics” this year.
9ice
has stepped up his campaign and
awareness me but, shockingly, when his
fans thought he was done, he released a
new single. “I’m leaving music, I need to
go into something more challenging.
Music is no longer competitive for me.
I’ve done all that needs to be done in
music”…and the single was released.
Mr Songs Says His Parents Are Related
Five Star Music signee Mr Songs aka
Harrysong drew so much attention when,
during an interview, he said his parents
were related. Some days later, he denied
the statement, insisting somewhere along
the lines that he was misquoted.
“It’s just that after my dad and my mum
gave birth to me, they separated and went
their different ways. So, my father got
married to another woman and also my
mother to another man. They separated
because I was given birth to by two
relations. My father and mother are
actually brother and sister. They gave
birth to me before they could realise that.
“Well, I learnt that when my mother was
alive, she met my father. Then she was
still in school and they were in the same
class and the same village. But she didn’t
know that they were closely related. I
was born based on what our villagers
regarded as an abomination and,
therefore, they had to separate. It was a
big abomination, so they had to separate.
Even, they attempted to kill my father in
that village, but he fled because in Warri
where I come from, it is a taboo. They
termed it ‘incest’.”
Yes, he denied saying all these.
